18 oz Snifter 'Tulip' Glass 

Did you know that smell defines over 80% of your sense of taste?  With this in mind, the snifter glass was designed to enhance the aroma of your beverage of choice.  The shape of the snifter mimics a tulip—with a bulbous body and a relatively narrow top—helping to trap the volatiles for aromatic beers.  Traditionally used for spirits like brandy or cognac, craft beer enthusiasts have found that this is the ideal glass for craft beers with complex aromas or an ABV measure of 8% or higher, such as double/imperial IPAs, imperial stout, Belgian ales, barley wines, wheat wines, and Baltic porter.  At approximately 18-oz, the snifter glass holds its own against other beer glasses, such as the pint, pilsner, and nonic.
